Last night's seminar was awesome! If you missed it--you missed a live version of the authentic healing power of Reiki. I am always amazed and a little surprised at what transpires during a session. I don't know if the energy will manifest into an emotional, physical or spiritual need. I trust that it will go where the greatest need is and work its healing there. After demonstrating how I scan the client for imbalances and giving a read of what I could feel, I proceeded to let the Reiki take over. After two pretty powerful treatments I was asked "how do you know that what you are feeling is accurate? To me this is a fundamental question. I answered the best way I could and that is that I simply trust what I am feeling and what I sense. For many this could be too far out there--too metaphysical for them to wrap logic around and I respect that. However the proof is in the pudding, and what I conveyed to the volunteers was accurate. I described their physical and emotional needs at the time. As a matter of semantics, Reiki is not a religious practice, it is a healing modality. So for some--the disconnect lies in my ability to perceive what is not visible to the naked eye and in my ability to know what I could not possibly know. I accept this knowledge as par for the course. Of course I know where the client's energy is flowing differently, of course I know where the pain is manifesting and how, of course I can work to rechannel the flow of energy--I believe in what I am doing. I do not need to understand the mechanics or physics of electricity to trust that when I power up my computer it will spring to life. The manifestation of healing requires faith. My belief is that I was rightly taught for the highest good. My job is to be a perfect channel for the healing energy and to resist the urge to control or direct an ego based outcome. Within this purview there is no place for doubt, insecurity, or second guessing. You must just flow with the Reiki...
